[@michaelhofer9149]

You keep making the videos and I’ll keep watching and sharing them! I love watching saw mills and experienced sawyers working.

[@bobbynewton9247]

Enjoyed Mark and Eddie l could sit and watch it for hours!!

[@dannymartin4327]

I enjoy watching your videos. In 1979 I was sawing on one of those same mills. I really miss that job. Thanks for making them.

[@andrewriches506]

Good morning from Lincolnshire UK. A rare treat for a Sunday morning Thanks for the video.

Great video Mark and Eddie. Take care.

[@alanm3438]

It is always good to see you. I had a lot of heavy wet snow to move today. The snow plow did not come until late in the day but I took care of my driveway. Good job on the video and the saw mill work. Looks like you had a "ripping" good time.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Alan , you can keep all of the snow lol!

nice spaghetti squash, i mean aspen. i cut lots ov poplar and aspen.i love the wood its useful for barn flooring and siding..i think it cuts and planes better when dry.

BONUS 👍👍😎😎Random Sawing Vid👌👌

[@markgalicic7788]

yes sir Greg.

[@troytreeguy]

We have quaking aspen or popple, that stuff seems to move all over the place as it dries I’ve got flat sawn boards that made themselves into dough bowls. 😂 The other poplar we have is big tooth which saws fuzzy but it is much more stable and makes a nice board. I was told that old wooden logging beds were made of big tooth because it’s light and strong and the wood doesn’t want to slide off it. I’m up in central Maine.

[@georgewilson2185]

This is a cottonwood.

Hey Mark hey Eddie and and the third guy thank you gentleman

[@markgalicic7788]

your welcome Chris.

[@joeahopelto8032]

After living in Colorado for almost 30 years, I haven't seen an aspen with rough thick bark like this tree has. I was expecting to see a log with smooth bark somewhat like its cousin the poplar.

[@georgewilson2185]

Not aspen, but cottonwood.

[@willardnicholson8026]

Great video buddy 👍

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Willard.

[@edmorris1437]

You mentioned how it saws fuzzy. Because it fuzzes instead of splintering, it is traditionally used as bench tops in saunas. You don’t want splinters in your naked backside.

[@Repairman87]

Million years ago we used to go up to the mountains and dig aspen clumps for landscaping. Don't see many that size out here unless it's in somebody's yard.

[@markgalicic7788]

these came off a logging job.

[@beyondmiddleagedman7240]

Excelsior! Make swamp cooler pads out of it.

[@markgalicic7788]

Hi from Lichfield England

Hi Paul.

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

I see that ZZ Mark dyed his hair, shaved his beard off AND got a hair cut. Looks like a completely different person. Good video.

[@GlenPorter1]

Aspen has the same hardness as white pine, it takes nails very well, and it is very stable in conditions of changing temperature and humidity, so it is good for construction. Have you considered making 2x4s out of Aspen?

[@properlynumb7092]

The grain looks very boring. This is the first I've seen of the stuff. Thanks for the info.

[@TheWildWestMill]

Select and btr aspen is used for trim and mouldings

[@WhiskeyDale]

Thanks!

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you Whiskey Dale!

[@LorenzoDuda]

I would be interested to see how your main camera is set up to follow the log

Hi Lorenzo , watch this video to see the camera mount kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5CogZ-Xg8l4r7M

[@ADSC2006]

In my neck of the woods Poplar lights to warp and split when air drying.

[@markgalicic7788]

this is softer than poplar.

[@ronthacker211]

Face grain on that Aspen looks like it's "feathering".

[@markgalicic7788]

yes very fuzzy , I hope it planes out smooth after drying.

Nice sawing mark. Audio has improved a bit.

good evening Evan.

[@shawnantel8238]

Mark is that the same as a quaking ash? I was always told they’re not worth sawing and that couldn’t even send for pulp

[@markgalicic7788]

I think so it's in the poplar family.

[@ronvogt]

We always called it quaking aspen or just quake

[@firecaptaintom]

​@@ronvogt Our best aspen(popple) was peeled for plywood, second best aspen went to a sawmill, third best to an OSB plant and the rest went to a pulp mill for cardboard.

[@fricknjeep]

hi up there good show . is that who i think it is on the chop . wrote this before you said never sawed that wood . john

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks John , yes it's Buzz saw Buzzy!

Mark, that stuff looks like it would be worse than trying to sand fuzzy and stringy alder.

[@markgalicic7788]

not sure how it will plane out after it's dry.

No palm trees on Palm Sunday Eve? 🌴

[@markgalicic7788]

no sir David.

[@bwillan]

I've always wondered why you only use the taper on 1 side of a log and then say "what you gain on 1 side you lose on the other". Is there some reason that you don't taper the opposite face and then have your tapered waste cuts come out of the center core of the tree. From my thinking the highest grade lumber comes from the outside of the tree at least on hardwoods.

[@markgalicic7788]

it's a 50-50 gain to center the heartwood just common sense .

[@eldonhalliburton4766]

You say that aspen isn't a nice log, but compared to what's available in the big box stores in the UK its infinitely better, with less knots for a start.

[@markkennedy325]

You call it Aspen! Is it the same as a Poplar?

[@CarrotCaptain]

You might have heard it called popple.

[@firecaptaintom]

​​@@CarrotCaptain Aspen is often called "popple" in the lake states. It's different than poplar.

[@CarrotCaptain]

@@firecaptaintom It is not different than poplar. Quaking Aspen is part of the poplar family. The wood sold as poplar in the big stores is usually tulip poplar, which is not actually poplar. It's part of the lily family. Popple is the common name used in Wisconsin.

[@firecaptaintom]

@CarrotCaptain My point was that the "poplar" being cut in Pennsylvania by Nuts319 is not the same as the "popple" being cut here in Wisconsin, where I'm from. Just like the whitetail deer I hunt here is not the same as a mule deer in Wyoming. Same family, different critter. Good info regarding the store wood btw.
